Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings Dr. Boling applies to the deep grooves of your child's back teeth. Think of them like raincoats for teeth—they shield these cavity-prone areas from food and bacteria that can cause decay.
Back teeth (molars) have deep pits and grooves where food and bacteria can hide, making them hard to clean even with careful brushing. Children often miss these areas when brushing, which is why cavities in these teeth are so common.
Dr. Boling typically recommends sealants as soon as the permanent back teeth come in, usually between ages 6 and 12. We can also seal baby teeth if they have deep grooves that might trap food and bacteria.
Getting sealants is quick and painless, and no shots or drilling are needed. Dr. Boling cleans and dries the tooth, applies the sealant liquid, and uses a special light to harden it. The whole process takes just a few minutes per tooth.
Sealants can protect teeth for several years and will be checked at each regular visit. If needed, we can easily touch them up or replace them to maintain protection throughout the cavity-prone years.
